Lan Ziyi heard what Tao Zhulu said, and replied:

"I'm not going to do anything to people,

Qi Hou is loyal, he will not interfere with me when no one is instructing, and I will not have any problem commanding the whole army with him. “

Tao Zhulu listened to Lan Ziyi's words and nodded silently,

After Lan Ziyi finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then said:

"But for the sake of caution, I still have to inquire about the tone of the lieutenant general of Qi Rongxun's army."

After Lan Ziyi finished speaking, the two people in the tent fell silent, and after a long while, they asked:

"Young master, Qi Rongxun is reconciled with Xuanming and his gang in Yuzhou City, now he has brought more people than the young master, and after the reinforcements from the east arrive, Qi Rongxun's forces will completely overwhelm the young master, isn't the young master afraid that Qi Rongxun will learn from Xie Xuanming when the time comes, and put the young master under house arrest?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"It is no longer appropriate for Qi Rongxun to transfer the Duliang Eastern Army, and now he has transferred the defenders of Hailing over, and this matter has been passed back to the imperial court enough for him to drink a pot, and it is not his turn to do anything to me."

Peach Zhulu heard the words and said:

"But what if we win? Winning the battle against Qi Rongxun became an instant decision, did the young master forget that Zhang Mingyue had always supported him? At that time, all the military exploits that went out to fight fell into the arms of his Qi Rongxun. ”

兰子义 says:

"It would be better if we won the war, so that the capital would be safe."

Then Lan Ziyi stood up and walked to the corner of the tent, he looked at the vague figures coming and going outside the tent and said slowly to Tao Zhulu:

"Second brother, I know what you're worried about,

Our days in the capital Lide Wangfu are definitely aggrieved, but it doesn't mean that we won't be aggrieved when we go back after making military achievements, the capital on the other side of the river is the capital, not Luoyanguan, no matter how many heads you cut off, no one will reward you, it will only make people worry about you. “

Then Lan Ziyi turned around and sat down, and slowly said to Tao Zhulu:

"This expedition was originally to put gold on King De's face and let him make military achievements, but now that things are like this, to put it mildly, even if King De is beheaded, it is not enough to atone.

But according to what I have seen and heard in the capital, I don't think the emperor will take King De like it, the old man likes to protect the young, and he can only endure this.

Since King De will not be punished, after coming out for so long, the loss of troops must be explained to the lords of the court, and even the people of the world, and a scapegoat must be found.

Now this scapegoat has been made, Xiong Jingzong and Xie Xuanming, who died in Yuzhou City, are the best scapegoats, Yuzhou's defeat is a turning point for coming out to beg for thieves, Xie Xuanming is the mastermind of arresting me in Yuzhou City, and now they are dead, and the black pot buckles the heads of these two people just right, but poor Lord Xiong, a good man is going to end up infamous behind him. “

Tao Zhulu asked:

"But the young master just said that the defeat is to blame, who will bear the black pot, Qi Rongxun is now going to make military merits."

兰子义 says:

"Second brother, don't you understand? This expedition can only be made by King De to make military merits, if this battle goes well, Qi Rongxun and I and Yu Gonggong can share some of the remaining credit, now the loss of the army, lost the face of the court, the best result of our adjutant generals who went out with the expedition is not to be deducted from the, but to seek no fault and not to seek merit,

Qi Rongxun is now privately dispatching troops to exterminate the thieves, first, he did not give the Ming court, and second, he did not ask King De, after the bloody battle to destroy the thieves, he won, but where did King De's face go? Where is the face of the imperial court? The imperial court only let the 20,000 men of the Eastern Army be stationed in Duliang to prevent the thieves from entering Jiangbei, but did not let them advance westward.

Of course, the credit is great after winning, but who dares to take this credit? Who can eat it? Jiangbei exterminates thieves, guards Gyeonggi, and saves the world from fire and water, such a great contribution has some meaning of rebuilding Dazheng, does he Qi Rongxun have that appetite? Originally, after the victory of my father's Northern Expedition to Nuonuo, the Eastern Army was not as good as the Northern Army, if Qi Rongxun really won, then the Northern Army would be suppressed from the momentum, and my Dazheng has been the practice of the past two hundred years is which feudal town to destroy which domain, and he Qi Rongxun secretly communicated with Zhang Mingyue, the emperor and Gonggong Long will not let the power of the feudal town and the courtiers become bigger. “

Tao Zhulu listened to what Lan Ziyi said, pondered for a while, and after Lan Ziyi finished speaking, he asked:

"So what if Qi Rongxun puts the young master under house arrest?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Xie Xuanming's house arrest is to rob me of military power, as soon as his Qi Rongxun's reinforcements arrive, he will grasp the military power, what are you doing under house arrest? Could it be that Zhang Mingyue wants to cut me in front of the battle? ”

As soon as Lan Ziyi finished speaking, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, followed by the shouting of the gatekeepers and the sound of metal slamming with knives out of their sheaths

"Bold! How dare you ride into the camp."

Then, as if the sergeant at the gate recognized the rider who was running, he lowered his voice a little and said:

"Why did you rush to the Houhou tent on horseback? Crazy about gains? ”

The rider on horseback seemed to be in a hurry to hold the horse, and the galloping horse was strangled and neighed.

Then there was a thud on the ground, and it sounded like the sergeant had rolled off his horse.

The sergeant said to the gatekeeper outside the tent:

"Two brothers, I have something important to report to General Zhulu and an urgent military situation."

Hearing the word urgent military intelligence, Lan Ziyi hurriedly opened the curtain and said:

"Come on in!"

When the sergeant gasped and entered the door, Tao Zhulu immediately asked:

"What's the emergency?"

The sergeant swallowed a mouthful of foam and said:

"The thieves in Shouchun City have moved."

Lan Ziyi perked up when he heard this, and asked:

"What's the move?"

The sergeant replied:

"The river is full of boats, and the city is full of smoke."

Tao Zhulu asked:

"You mean the thieves are leaving?"

The sergeant replied:

"Exactly, the thieves look like they're all on board and leaving."

Tao Zhulu asked:

"In which direction? Is it coming to us? ”

sergeant says:

"It went downstream, not up."

Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhulu glanced at each other, but they couldn't figure out what this meant.

Lan Ziyi asked again:

"What about Shouchun City? What else is there besides smoke? ”

The sergeant replied:

"The gates were opened, and there were still people fleeing in the city, but there were no more people by land than by boats by water."

When Lan Ziyi heard this, his excited eyes opened the boss, and he immediately stepped to the side of his armor and began to put on his armor, while shouting loudly to the door:

"Herald Ji Tiger Battalion, immediately put on armor and get on the horse! Bring your weapons.

We're going to Shouchun. “

The sergeant outside the door did not ask much questions, and immediately went down to give the order, and the excitement in their hearts could be heard in the sonorous footsteps of the sergeant.

When Lan Ziyi was wearing his armor, he threw a water bladder to the sergeant who passed the message, and he said:

"You go out and get ready, drink the water and leave."

When the sergeant was about to step out of the tent, Lan Ziyi stopped the people again and ordered:

"Don't go, you won't be tired of going back and forth.

When I went to tell Qi Hou, I said that I was one step ahead, and his army should not act rashly first, and wait for my news. “

When the sergeant heard this, he took the command and left,

Tao Zhulu stepped forward and asked while helping Lan Ziyi to hold his armor:

"Young Master, do you think the thieves have been defeated?"

兰子义 says:

"I think the thieves are both defeated,

If Lei Youde wins, why should he camp in the city for two days, where is it possible to go east by boat overnight, and some people escape by land,

There will be great changes among the thieves, and we are now close to each other, and we have the strength to fight for it. “

After speaking, Lan Ziyi had already put on his armor neatly, he took the helmet belt, hung the sword on his waist, and led Tao Zhulu out of the tent.

In this camp where the Tiger Battalion is stationed outside the tent, all the soldiers are moving, and although the personnel are busy and noisy, they are not chaotic at all.

After seeing Lan Ziyi come out, a sergeant immediately led the horse for Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhulu,

Lan Ziyi straddled the saddle and got on the horse, and urged the horse to go to the camp gate.

Along the way, the soldiers in the battalion have also been dressed neatly and followed Lan Ziyi.

By the time they gathered at the camp gate, thousands of soldiers had already arrived, and the three brothers of the Tao family and Li Guangzhong were closely guarding Lan Ziyi.

Qi Rongxun had already finished wearing and was waiting at the gate of the camp, and when he saw Lan Ziyi coming, Qi Rongxun asked loudly:

"Where is Wei Hou?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Shouchun has changed, I have to go over and take a look."

Qi Rongxun said:

"Wei Hou wait, I'll take a large group of soldiers and horses with you."

兰子义 says:

"There is still a distance from the place where our army is stationed, and the infantry is too tired to pass overnight, and the cavalry is just right to pass.

I just got information, the coat of thieves in Shouchun City, but I'm not sure if it's a trap, Qi Hou asked me to go first, if I have the opportunity I will inform Qi Hou to follow, if it's a thief and a traitor, I can escape with a few thousand cavalry.

The thieves and the water army are heading east, and Qi Hou contacts the eastern army as soon as possible and orders them to prepare is the right thing. “

Qi Rongxun nodded and said to Lan Ziyi:

"Then Wei Hou be careful."

Then Qi Rongxun shouted to the soldiers guarding the camp gate:

"Open the door!"

As soon as the words fell, the camp gate was pushed open, and Lan Ziyi waved his horsewhip and led thousands of soldiers under him to gallop away.

The soldiers walked for two days in a row, and the garrison was only thirty miles away from Shouchun, Lan Ziyi and his soldiers urged the horses to gallop wildly and accelerate their advance.

After running like this for a long time, Lan Ziyi estimated that it should be almost Shouchun, when the scout in front of the Jihu Battalion suddenly heard a voice,

Tao Zhutu said to Lan Ziyi on the horse:

"Young master, someone released arrows."

Tao Zhulu added:

"Not toward us, but forward."

Then Lan Ziyi, who was galloping rapidly, saw the scout stationed in front of him as a striker shooting arrows in front of him.

Then from the darkness in front of him, an arrow flew back and tore it and went straight to Lan Ziyi's side.

Lan Ziyi immediately ordered the brigade to disperse, and the scout in front shouted when he heard the men and horses coming up behind him:

"There's an enemy rider ahead!"

Lan Ziyi asked:

"How many? What orientation? ”

The scout replied:

"About a few dozen people, right in front of me."

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he immediately gave Tao Zhuhu and Li Guangzhong a look, and the two nodded to Lan Ziyi respectively, and then nodded to the people and horses, and went out of the battle. Lan Ziyi led the remaining main force to disperse the formation, leaned to the scout line, and exchanged fire with the thief horseman.
